cs50X week0 learnings :-)

I have started cs50x course on 15 August which is about Introduction to computer science. I have taken this course because I wanted to improve my core basics in CS and this is provided by the Harvard University taught by David J Malan which is also providing the certificate upon completion. Before this course, I was in the endless loop of tutorials from the YouTube, which were good but don't provide any step by step guidance due to which I had wasted my lots and lots of time and ended up having expertise in nothing.

My Scratch game
So here is what I have learned after week0 project completion:

  • Basics about computer [unary, binary 0's and 1's, ASCII, UNICODE, How computer store text, images, videos and audios]
  • Scratch [a visual programming language]
  • Building logic and Ideas
  • Abstraction [Hiding the complex parts]
  • Ended up with creating a game in scratch named Bat In Space
